#makeShitMonday, #baking edition!
We made a ginormous roasted pumpkin stuffed with ground lamb, kale, and bulgur wheat a few weeks ago - and this is not a post about that. Because I kept the pumpkin guts for Christmas treat-baking... π
Today's [pumpkin-gut bread](https://eatingrichly.com/how-to-cook-a-whole-pumpkin-and-recipe-for-pumpkin-gut-bread/#mv-creation-164-jtr) is the best I've made so far - I added ground ginger, allspice, & cloves to the cinnamon & nutmeg specified in the recipe, and [Red Tail Grains' NuEast Red Wheat](https://redtailgrains.com/the-grains) is absolutely perfect for this!

#MakeShitMonday, another batch of #kombucha edition...
Brewed up a big batch of sweetened lapsang souchong tea over the weekend and added it to the kombucha mother(s) in my primary kombucha vessel. It will have a week or two to do its thing over the holidays before it's time to bottle it.

#makeShitMonday, #baking edition...
Tried a new whole-wheat-crust recipe for my ongoing crostata experiments tonight. Did not compare it to my previous recipe, which I already overloaded with fruit as a matter of course, to see how much dough it made. And I had all the strawberries macerated already, so...
(Pre-baking, there's solidly 4" of strawberries mounded up in that crust - it was hard to get a truly representative picture of this ridiculousness.π)
I wasn't sure whether the crostata walls could retain structural integrity if they're that short. But hey, anything worth doing is worth overdoing, right? π
As it turned out, they utterly could not... so I transferred it to a casserole dish, and I'm calling it an upside-down strawberry sonker. π #NCeats #IYKYK Still delicious!

I have continued futzing around with the #Apple #Macintosh #PowerBook 145B. My weekend project was to remove the ancient, decrepit SCSI hard drive (functional, but loud as heck) and replace it with the #Androda #BlueSCSI, a custom PCB with a Raspberry Pi Pico W attached to it. (The Pi Pico W also gives the PowerBook an internal WiFi connection, something the original never had.)
Fortunately I already have some experience working with .hda disk image files from last year's #PiSCSI project, so I had some ready-made virtual hard disks loaded with software I've barely touched.
Today at @mediaarchaeologylab I found a floppy disk for the 1995 Norton Disk Editor, a low-level diagnostic tool that I can't imagine there was much consumer demand for. The disk editor contains some hidden gems of MacIntosh lore I was previously unaware of.
The UI says "The Disk Type bytes identify the type of Macintosh file system in use on the volume. If the bytes are $D2D7 (or 'RW' - standing for Randy Wigginton) then the volume is an MFS volume. If the Disk Type bytes are $4244 (standing for 'BD' or "Big Disk") then the volume is an HFS volume."
(Edit: I don't know if Apple had its own version of ASCII, but while in traditional ASCII hex 0x4244 = "BD," ASCII hex values for "RW" would be 0x5257, not 0xD2D7, so that's...weird)
Randy was employee number 6 at Apple, and a neighbor of Woz. Turning your initials into magic bytes buried in the filesystem you designed seems just so...early Apple.
The PowerBook is now completely silent when it runs. It doesn't have an internal fan. The hard drive motor was the only thing that made any noise (aside from the speaker, of course).
And the BlueSCSI? With a 128GB MicroSD card, it has about 1600 times as much storage as that old 80MB hard drive.

Spent my weekend building then playing with the #WiSpy - an Arduino-based #wardriving kit from #Hackerboxes (HB89) - and now I'm shopping for a hardhat to mount it to like @MrBill #MakeShitMonday
